Univie: Summer School for International and European Studies 2024

We would like to introduce you to the univie: summer school – International and European Studies 2024 of the Sommerhochschule of the University of Vienna. The univie: summer school will take place from July 13 to August 10, 2024. The four week program offers high-level European studies courses, the Austrian Arbitration Academy, and German language courses. The European studies courses are held in English and focus on Europe and the European Union. They cover political, economic, and legal transformations, and also historical and cultural aspects of the multiple transitions the continent is currently undergoing. The Austrian Arbitration Academy is designed for law students and focuses on international dispute settlement by arbitral tribunals. We believe the courses offered at the Sommerhochschule would complement your university’s academic offerings. Given the intercultural and interdisciplinary aspect of the summer school, our program is of interest to students from all fields of study, but certainly of special interest to students who concentrate on Europe or study one of the following fields: Austrian Studies, European Studies, Political Science, Law (Arbitration Law, International Law, European Law, Comparative Law), Economics, History, Cultural Studies, International Relations, Interdisciplinary Studies, and/or German. Students from all over the world have been drawn to the program. The Sommerhochschule has an outstanding academic reputation and offers an excellent opportunity to study German. The campus is located directly on the shore of Lake Wolfgang, one of Austria's most popular lakes in the picturesque Salzkammergut region. The campus life creates an environment which encourages intercultural and social exchange and favours mutual understanding within the international student population. Participants thus broaden their horizons, meet colleagues from different fields of study, and build connections for their future professional careers. More information about the Sommerhochschule can be found at: https://shs.univie.ac.at.

European Student Conference: Rethinking Transatlantic Cooperation | Yale University



CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

From 14-16 April 2023, exceptional undergraduate and graduate students from across the
United States, Europe, and the world, will gather at Yale University for the 7th edition of the
European Student Conference.'

The conference will draw together these young leaders and decision-makers from politics,
business, and academia to discuss new approaches to the critical challenges in transatlantic
affairs today.

In doing so, the conference will seek to empower a new generation of young transatlantic
leaders to face these challenges head on, and with the help of our guests and experts, begin to
think both freely and critically about where our world is going and what to do about it.


FORMAT

The conference will be structured around three activities:

Two Keynote Addresses
The conference will open and close with keynote addresses featuring two exceptional principals from politics and business. The addresses will seek to weave together the frames, foci, and theme of the conference into a forward-looking message for today’s emerging transatlantic leaders.

Three Panel Discussions
The focal topics of the conference will each be covered by one panel discussion that blends
perspectives across sectors and geographies. The panels will allow participants to interact directly and candidly with experts.

Three Workshops
Participants will work in groups to draft policy papers addressing key questions within the conference’s three areas of focus. Each area of focus will correspond to a workshop in which participants will benefit from the guidance and perspective of a topic expert. Groups will present their policy proposals at the conclusion of the conference.
